I ordered one test for me, and one for my man. After some time, we got messege from My Herritage, that my DNA, Said that I was a man, and my man has DNA for a Woman, so offcoutse, we must haved mixed the test, not so hard to understand, and I called the nummer for Sweden for a couple of days, and a Voice in the phone Said, that no one could take my call right now in Sweden, but If I could wait a while, I could be taking to someone that speak english. So I did, after a fre days, and the call was sent, to a Woman in USA, and she helpt me, but it took a while, and are not supet easy for me comming from Sweden, to explain evrything in bad english and also say your email adress in english and also know what the Word for@ is in english? I didnt know But the lady in USA was very nice, so To her, but not so good grades for My Herritage. It is bad service! You need to have a better service for your customers

Customer support through e-mail and phone is atrocious; e-mail "matches" are pretty far-fetched.

Dear Allison,

I regret to find that you were charged for an annual membership without knowing of the annual membership charge and I will do all I can to help.

Firstly, I must clarify that Myheritage informs all of the annual charge and its price on the automatic e-mail that is sent out after you enroll in the membership and after every renewal. Also, one may view the status or cancel an annual subscription at any time when logging in to MyHeritage and going to your My Purchases page and incur no annual charge.

Your MyHeritage member experience is very important to us and we really do value the satisfaction of all of our members. This is why our terms and conditions read that If you are not satisfied with your purchased plan you may request a full refund by contacting Customer Support within thirty (30) days of the initial purchase date of the subscription.

Please write to me from your registered MyHeritage email address to: dean.vipsupport@myheritage.com and I will assist you with your case personally.

Looking forward to hearing from you.

Kind Regards,
Dean,
MyHeritage Team.
